The NBA and the union recently amended the rules regarding replacement players, in response to the COVID outbreak.
If a team has one player testing positive, they have the option to sign a replacement player without going through the hardship exemption process. If two players are positive, they are required to sign a replacement player. If three or four players are testing positive, then they are required to sign one or two more replacement players, respectively. There are no further requirements, provided that they can field a team of at least 13 players.
Most of the replacement players are being signed from the G-League. I think this fellow is the required replacement player for the Mavs.
